African Restaurants near Hackensack, NJ

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“I celebrated my cousin's birthday last October at Lagos restaurant and Lounge was great“

“I didn't get all my food. I was told they will follow up they did not, I actually got a call because they thought I was placing another order. Sorry you screwed up once and had a chance to fix it and didn't? I won't be back here. Branzino with green sauce and Asparagus, which they were out of, was replaced by Spinach I did not receive. When your starring at a plate with just fish and a slice of lemon, you feel like something is. missing. Also had the rack of lamb with green sauce and Jollof rice. This dish was amazing. Lamb was perfectly cooked and the selection of different sauce was amazing. We also had the Hibiscus drink and Ginger drink, the ginger is so strong you can dilute it into 2x drinks or 3x.“

“Always have a great time here! It doesn’t matter if there is an event taking place or it’s just a calm afternoon, the service, food, and vibes are consistently amazing. I love genet and how she interacts with the community; literally one of my favorite places in Harlem.“

“Lots of character, high on aroma and flavor. All entrees gluten-free. Very casual.“

“Burger Baby by Wonder absolutely exceeded my expectations! I had the truffle burger, and it was incredible perfectly cooked, so juicy, and packed with flavor. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. Wonder also has cookies that were just as amazing. My son absolutely loved them and couldn’t stop talking about how good they were. It’s definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.
I highly recommend Burger Baby“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“Loved it here!

The food was amazing. I loved everything we ordered. The coffee was great too. Everything was fresh and delicious.

I loved the decor here too. It was very relaxing and cozy. I’d definitely come back here and try more of their options.

I loved the fish, the salad, and the drinks!“

“This place was amazing. The jilof was my favorite. The service was perfect and the little kid named Eddy was really cute. The meat here couldn’t have been better. I’m really happy about this place and can’t wait to come back and get some more food.“

“last year July to August I was in New York never feel being far from home .I had the best time to taste west African food daily .I enjoyed your delicious Jelof rice and cassava leaf soup. I will definitely visit your resturant again in my next trip to New York.“

“Arrived just before 15:00 and met a calosed and locked door. I called their phone number and it rang and rang. We tried knocking and after a few minutes a woman arrived, also tried calling, and began banging on the restaurant window. She mentioned something about Ramadan being the reason they weren't open. Not too long after her banging, someone came to open the door and as we tried following the woman in she closed the door on us. The guy who opened the door from the inside opened the door again and said we could come in. We quickly learned that the woman worked there as she went straight to the back room. Confused and a little annoyed, we sat. My partner and I were the only ones there. A server approached us and said they were only offering three things for the menu, which was different from online. After clarifying that there were indeed only three things on the menu, I ordered the jollof with fish and the goat in peanut soup and rice dish. Before the food arrived, I asked the server if she could turn on the heat, as it was not on. Mind you, this was a Wednesday in February in Harlem. She turned on the heat and the TV, which was played news at a moderate volume. The waters and food came and it was delicious. Plenty rice with the goat and peanut soup, good ratios on the jollof plate. Smaller rice grains than I am used to, but thoroughly enjoyed my plate and taking bites of the jollof.
I appreciated there being a container for washing in the bathroom. I was given $3 back in cash, something about being overcharged on my card? Shrug. No menu so I don't know what the total should have been / what the deal was with that. Overall, I'd go back for the food and hope for being true to opening hours, attending to the phone, and having a menu.“

“Absolutely love this place! We really needed something like this where you can order from different restaurants all in one spot. My food was perfectly packed, incredibly delicious, and super fast. I’m so glad one opened nearby. I used to go to the one near my job on 23rd Street, so this is super convenient!“

“The food here exceeds what you expect from a local restaurant. All workers here have pleasant personalities. This place offers elegant visuals. Their dishes stand out even among excellent restaurants. This establishment meets every standard.“

“Today makes two times we visited and the food taste even better than the first. It’s so authentic, the flavors and west African dishes. My hubby loves it, and I love the banana pudding! Please let me know the recipe 😋“

“The BEST african restaurant you will ever try.“

“I went to the Jollof & Grill Restaurant on Saturday on August 29th, 2026 to meet my friend there for lunch. The food was good, it was spicy and seasoned well. I had a Jollof Rice combo with Chicken Suya and a snapple and my friend had a Jollof Rice combo with Beef Suya, bottled water, and 1 cream soda. The price of those 2 meals and 3 drinks was $69.30. We had a great time talking and catching up for over 1 hour. The place has a small amount of seating inside and it was quiet so we did not have difficulty hearing each other throughout our time at the restaurant.“

“Came to Tribos Peri Peri in Saddle Brook with my husband and had such a great experience! The service from Hasan was amazing. Our food was running a little late, but Hasan was so accommodating and made sure we received our order as quickly as possible. He was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was taken care of.

The yucca fries were absolutely delicious, and the half chicken was so good! Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend Tribos—great food and excellent service!“
